"At the moment, Graziano Avitabile who describes himself as machine-based as far as his music is concerned, is rushing from one of his breathtaking live gigs in Europe to another, carrying loads of equipment around (no laptops -- hardware only). In 2001, he moved to Cologne and since then, you can't think of Cologne without thinking of Graziano because, according to De:Bug magazine, he 'simply sets standards.' With his track 'Nutshell,' he now presents a perfect smasher for this summer's open-air season. The track is arranged around an extremely funky bass, it is full of straight monotony and features an euphoric synth break. This track will definitely rock the club."

"Life is more an unruly stomping beat is continuous directing track 1. After a while a clanking organ appears to accompany the beat till the end. This combination will kick anybody at anytime. Several well-placed breaks are eking a seeming strange tune. Track 2 - 'Flute' this track is promising to be a joyous one. But you will see that it is a trigged happiness. And trigged it is only for a while. Sawing it will end. And the sawing mood is solving the inhibition with one blow. Cheerfulness meets grotesque vein. That's all you need."

"The birth of the label and at the same time the first record of Graziano Avitabile, who has been a member of Cologne's nightlife for quite a while. He has released a few records, one on Karmarouge records back in 2001. Since then he has developed his style and has with this release put forward a 12" with existential elements and sounds, timeless as we think, rather than clicks and cuts designed computer music but with lots of emotion, creating friction throughout this tough slamming techno track. The track comes in two versions, paying tribute to the 80s but relying on his hypnotic touch that after all, prevails. A stunning debut and the best way to start My Best Friend."
